Just wanted to introduce my new truck and the plans that I have for it. There are alot of firsts with this truck for me. My first diesel, first Chevy and first full size truck. My last 2 off road builds were a 95 Isuzu Trooper and a 2014 Nissan Frontier. The frontier really struggled with providing the towing that I needed so that is why I bought this 98 K2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel. Its an extended cab and long bed which makes it less ideal for break over angle but I plan to improve that. It has only 86K miles, manual transmission and its a Cheyenne model so its very basic.
My hopes are to get it get it ready for some light-moderate off road trails and to be used as a family camping, fishing and shooting truck. I started off with doing a 10 hour interior detail on it because it was used on a farm for 21 years so it had layers upon layers of mud and a funky smell. I've also already started the next step which is sanding it down to prepare it for a full bed lining instead of a traditional paint job. I bought the UPOL Raptor Liner kit which I plan to tint to the factory color. Then for the flares, lower section and bumpers, I was going to use a black color bed liner.
